BILL TO HELP MICROBREWERIES HEADS TO CHRISTIE’S DESK

Legislation to revise restrictions on New Jersey’s microbreweries and brewpubs now heads to Gov. Chris Christie’s desk to be signed. It will make it easier for them to offer their product to the public and enhance their appeal as tourist destinations. New Jersey is home to more than 16 microbreweries and brewpubs. The legislation would update New Jersey’s existing brewing laws, granting microbreweries and brewpubs many of the same rights enjoyed by New Jersey’s local wineries.
